Sometimes it seems that Israeli singer Aviv Geffen manages to surpass himself in his ability to detach from what is called, in professional parlance, 'self-awareness.'.
In an interview with journalist Eden Abitbol, the singer, who probably has the foulest mouth in the Barangay, who cursed, insulted, whitewashed and harmed almost everything that is not him for years, wondered:

‘'Where is their share': Why is singer Aviv Gefen disappointed with Haredi radio?
It is difficult to understand how a person, apparently intelligent to one degree or another, believes that with his association with Maor Gola Avraham Fried [by the way, a singer from my childhood and with a huge voice, I was just asking: What is the purpose of these collaborations? Your own embarrassment is acceptable, why are you embarrassing us too?] he will become the life and legacy of the Haredim before sin.
Did Fried and I release a mediocre single that was a minus to the radio? Did I say a nice word about the Haredim during Corona? How come the companies Kol Chai and Kol Barama don't start programs with my songs? What is this pettiness, I didn't let myself get close.
I.
""Where is their share in the partnership?"
And maybe the problem is not in Geffen's funny, not to say grotesque, self-dissociation, but in the fact that he is able to raise such a voice in public without being ashamed? And maybe on second thought, should the man really sing at our graduation ceremonies or at the end of the Rishon LeZion class in Yad Vashem?
For example, you:
Lowly spirit, lowly knee and standing... In your eyes, do I seem like a small twig?
